I still have all of those vehicles except the station wagon and the 1954 pickup, and they still run and drive.

One bad winter years ago a friend of mine who was Plant Manager at a local manufacturing business was going to work with his Cadillac Eldorado. He came upon a 4x4 pickup high centered on a snow drift. Keith ran his powered window down and asked the guy if he wanted a pull? The guy responded with your Caddy? Keith said yes and popped the trunk open got out and pulled a tug em strap from the trunk. He said here is your end hook it somewhere good. Keith had a Reese hitch on his Caddy and hooked the strap on there and proceeded to yank the 4x4 out of the drift! He also delivered a half ton of Hummer parts to  Mishawaka Indiana where they built Hummers in that same Eldorado. It was a rush order and they could not get a truck so keith deliverd in the Caddy. He said he pulled up to the gate and asked the guard where to dropp the parts . the guard did not believe him until he popped the trunk and showed him it was full of parts !

I think it was around mid 70's Chevy had a commercial that had a 4 wheel drive pickup pulling a 4 or 5 bottom plow. Don't know how truthful it was but it was always good for a laugh.

1 TON Dodge pulling a 2 bottom plow............ YEP... and a WD will do that ! LOL

I remember my dad telling after WW2 a friend of his bought a surplus Jeep and claimed it could do anything a tractor could do ! So dad invited him and his Jeep to come out and pull the 3 section drag for him. The Jeep pulled it 1 round of the field and then left as it got hot and was blowing blue smoke out the exhaust !

That second field looks pretty pathetic!

 My brother had hay down that was ready to bale and the neighbor was ready to come bale it, but his only tractor was broke down.  He said there were several rubber neckers that nearly ran off the road, trying to watch him rake hay with the old Chevy 4x4.

Was selling standing corn to a nearby town for October decorations one time.  Guy in a huge chebbie 4x4 was spinning, getting stuck, couldn't back out of it....Woman in a Ford Explorer backed up to him, hooked on, pulled him on out.  THAT was funny!!!

Wife says I’m good at stirring the pot. LOL

Shoulda filled the inside up with snow.

I was raking hay on day with the 180, then saw steam blasting outta the breather tube, shut it down right away, the baler man was coming in a couple hours and I didn't have another tractor handy, soooooo….I finished the field pulling the rake with the hearse. the baler man came early and saw what I was doing...he just stopped and starred, when I got done and met up with him...he didn't say a word! he just started in baling! LOL (it worked o-k, was inside with air conditioning and my but on leather seats, and the stereo was cranking out!)
